No he didn't. I no Bush apologist, but whatever problems the economy is experiencing, it's a cop-out to place this turd-bag solely at his feet. If anything, I partially blame congress for forcing lenders to extend loans to the "underpriviledged" (a.k.a. bad risk) applicants. The rest of it lies with suck-wad, jackass financial officers who approved risky loans, knowing full-well Uncle Sam would bail their asses out when the house of cards came down.

And despite NPR's insistance that we're headed for a major depression on a par with the 1929 depression, we have yet to see a single quarter of negative growth, a basic criterion for a recession.

Something needs to burn.

Right now, the US is saving banks and home buyers again and again. It just make the problem go around, not away. Someone will have to take the tar baby sooner or later.

Well, I didn't get invited to the damn party, I'm NOT hung over, and being hung over is no damned excuse for ANYthing. Buncha whiny cry-babies. o_O

Open up drilling and this country will need to import a million workers. Their will be an employment boon the likes of which was last seen after the discovery of the great East Texas field.

The difficulties we are in are the unintended consequences of previous government "fixes" of the market to save certain sectors. Toubrouk is right, it always winds up making things worse.
